Is this an insane idea??

I was just rehashing in my head all the options for BM dresses and all the colors....and I really don't give a flying what color they are....(only have in mind what colors I will NOT pick!!)

So would it be crazy to put all of my BMs in the same dress but in different pastel colors? I'm thinking this because my MOH liked peach, one BM liked lilac, my jr. BM liked sky blue, so I thought, hey why not do all of them in the same dress but different colors? I could also mix in pink, light green or yellow and remain in the spring category.

Would this look too busy???

My cousin recently did this at her wedding and I thought it was such a cute idea. She had an outdoor wedding up in Maine overlooking the mountains. It was beautiful!!

I think it would look great. It's definitely different.

I am thinking of doing the same idea. I really loved it when my sister did it 15 years ago...and wanted to do it too. My Future mom-in-law said she saw that once in Harlem....and it was tacky..... I hate to sound rude.... but I need to vent and say I think a wedding in Harlem at all is tacky....but that is probably just the Long Islander in me talking. So now, I am just happy that I read this post! THANK YOU!!!!!

I think it sounds wonderful. I love the idea that at the end of the day each bridesmaid has a unique dress to wear again.

Thank God, I felt like I was waiting for the 'Rainbow Brite called, she wants her rainbow back' comments or maybe a Skittles comment (HA maybe I can use Skittles as favors as a joke!)

I'm debating on the color because it boils down to the dress they choose. Some of the dresses I have narrowed down to just don't come in good pastel colors, so in that case it would be black or silver.

If it comes in good pastel colors, then I'm going with that, and it's easier because each girl can order their dress at the bridal shop closest to them that carries the dress.
